All changues seem cool i expected a bit more of class balance/nerfs.
Warlock passive definitely shouldnt have been buffed the double of what it was before... also giving them heal burst after stone skill is overkill
Giving two extra pets to Charmer ( i think cd is 15 seconds from what i saw on russian topic) is too much on their current state. They can stack their OP passive before fight. It also heals them, they will heal more than shaman/druid with 2 bird + normal heal??
BD counter does not seem that strong, need to see it on action, seems balanced skill
Giving even more burst to rogues may need hot fix if is too much
Druid song nerf was deserved, they got other buffs
Ranger looks interesting now and could be less frustrating to play with
Necro and Mage changues look cool
Warden nerf deserved
Seeker may be a god on PvE now, on PvP it all depends what amount of power inner rage gives them
I wont comment about barb getting buffed and DK not getting nerfed, seems some developers playing those classes on russian servers, have fun devs
I don't understand the point in many fixes.
- Why nerf Warden's damage instead of defensiveness, although it was the complain-worthy part, its damage was pathetic already.
- Reserves heals more than 2k, what's the point in nerfing 2 seconds only.
- Counter attack: Come on. Either chance or damage would've been enough, not both.
- Paladin has the lowest HP among all tanks. Why do most of his skills depend on HP? Why not magic? Why not increase his base HP at least to make fair with other tanks.
Otherwise everything is fine, I like that you buffed so many useless skills. And the skills combos are nice too. Keep it up.
Update 7.1 is coming, and not much time is left till great battles for Guild Castles start in Arinar. But be sure that this update is not only for top guilds! Along with Guild Castles, it will bring missing expert skills for new classes, corrections in the existing expert skills, as well as dynamic events for all guilds!
Guild events
Complete a certain amount of instances in various sectors of Ayvondil, earn Guild Points and start special PvE-events. By the way, each event is only for one guild, so you'll have to depend only upon your own guildmates!
Dungeons of the Filth, I sector of Ayvondil
On the first stage of the event you'll have descend to the Gray Hollows and kill 100 underground hornets and 100 cavers, and on the second stage - descend to even lower dungeons and defeat all 8 Satraps of the Filth. Everyone who stands till the end will receive a Treasury of the Sacred Forest with great rewards!
Lords of the Depths, II sector of Ayvondil
Go to the caves and kill 40 ayotls and 3 mighty Chupacabras, as well as all Pontifices in the lower caves, to get great buffs and a unique Treasury of the Pyramid Valley!
By the way, good news for farmers: now, portals to Satraps of the Filth and Pontifices are enable for everyone, taking a certain quest is not needed.
Wood of the Black Elm, III sector of Ayvondil
Go to the Virida's Mound and defeat ferocious plants that are spreading all over. Then find and kill the four powerful minions of the Black Elm who are poisoning the air in the Eternal Forest. As a reward, you'll get powerful buffs and Treasury of the Black Woods!
Rusty Wastelands, IV sector of Ayvondil
Track and eliminate 5 of the 10 clockwork soldiers of the Engineer who are laying low near the Wasteland's roads, and then defeat the powerful mechanical creatures made by the Engineer. If completed successfully, this event will bring you some nice buffs and Treasury of the Floating Islands!
Each of the treasuries contains precious rewards: weapons from a heroic level of relevant instances, relics, Seeker's stamina elixirs, unity signs, gold, minions and useful supplies!
Keep attention that to get rewards for each stage in all events, you have to be present on the territory of the stage completion for at least 30 seconds by the time the stage is over.

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON GIVING MCS MORE STUNS THAN THEY NEED
EXTREMELY unfair for elf rangers who have no stun "shot", rather, a useless melee stun which results in their death.
We don't need another pala class.
We don't need a damage-over-time class that's worse than rogue.
We need you to re-balance pvp and all the over powered stuns that mc side has.
Why do you hate us elves so much?
Can you explain that to me, an elf player who's invested thousands of dollars into i this game? I feel like I'm PAYING TO LOSE along with many other elves.
March has finally come to Arinar, and the air is now filled with something very desired - the Honoring of the Spring King! The Blissful Isle will be ready to welcome all guests already next week, and now it's time to learn what to expect from it this year, for it is not only unique achievements, holiday skills, new relics and precious rewards, but also new challenges!
After Wickedora had given up the evil force, the citizens of the island were enjoying peace for the whole year. But frozen days always come after warm ones, and all stories always repeat: another wicked Witch appeared on the Blissful Isle and settled down in the Furious forest in the south of the island. She brought down hundreds of troubles on the Spring King’s people.
There is a rumor among the people of the Blissful Isle that the Forest Witch is somehow related to Wickedora. Moreover, some say that she is her stepmother Momba who should be already dead for many years! But all cats are gray at night — and all evil witches look alike.
However, it never rains but it pours. Shortly after the appearance of the Witch, the Wonder Wizard came to the Emerald capital. He evicted the King from the palace and promised to defeat the Forest Witch in a short time — but for the present he is more successful in intimidating citizens. Perhaps, even wizards need help, don’t they?
If you still have maps of the previous Blissful Isle, don't hesitate to throw them away, for this year it is going to be completely new! Unexplored forests, secluded caves... Oh, and the most important thing: fights between Alliances are forbidden throughout the whole territory of the island! But even if this time you are safe from enemy Alliance's attacks, there will be plenty of them from monsters, since they are grouped and very dangerous!

Holiday Quests
A chain of entertaining storyline quests will help you to pass the time and let you meet all the most important persons of the island: the Spring King, the Wonder Wizard, Wickedora and many more. And the moreover, you will be able to find out who is this wicked and ugly witch and why she decided to destroy the whole Blissful Isle!
There are also several daily quests prepared for you that won't let you get bored or stay empty-handed. Hope you are already excited!
Solo Dungeons
Six solo dungeons of the Blissful Isle will welcome the most brave and valiant warriors that can rely only on themselves.
Although there is only one final boss, there are several paths to him that will force you to use completely different tactics. By the way, there is no time limit in these dungeons, so remember: the slower you go, the farther you get.
Note that your level must match with the level of the dungeon, otherwise you won't get any reward.
"Conspiracy of Kings" event
You have to confront the Blind Lord who lives in a deep secret cave and is ready to defeat everyone who dares visit him. It may seem not very difficult, but everything's not that easy: before that you have to complete three stages that include quieting down some disturbed fairies, killing the mighty Goblin King and standing against the crowds of furious trolls!
"Secret of the Furious Forest" event
This time the mission is even harder and consists of six stages. You need to reach poppy fields and wake up spring heralds, summon and defeat dreadful waterers and salamanders, kill jail keepers and their prisoners, Brothers Bim and Bob, free the Wickedora's Castle from the monsters that inhabited it and, finally, face Momba's minions - Midnight Owl and Wooden Clown. The ones who are lucky to survive till the end, as usual, will get excellent rewards!
Momba
The main villain of the whole event, Momba, is already making sneaky plans to kill the Spring King and all the residents of his country. The mysterious Witch lives at the end of the Furious Forest: it means that the path to her won’t be easy. Only the strongest and bravest warriors will be able to overcome the enchanted thickets, reach the distant hut and challenge Momba to a battle. But don’t doubt - the reward is really worth it!
That's all for now, additional information about rewards, achievements and much more will be available in the day of the update.
